Question

Is I bought a pizza and donut and the total is $22.34 and I gave them 25 dollars how much money will I get back, explain how to solve it

Answer 1

To find out how much money you will get back, you can follow these steps:

1. **Determine the total amount spent**: You have the total for the pizza and donut, which is $22.34.

2. **Identify the amount given**: You gave the cashier $25.00.

3. **Calculate the change**: To find out how much change you will receive, subtract the total spent from the amount you gave. The formula looks like this:

\[
\text{Change} = \text{Amount Given} - \text{Total Spent}
\]

4. **Plug in the values**:

\[
\text{Change} = 25.00 - 22.34
\]

5. **Perform the subtraction**:

- First, align the numbers by their decimal points:
\[
\begin{array}{r}
25.00 \\
- 22.34 \\
\hline
\end{array}
\]

- Subtract starting from the rightmost digit:
- In the hundredths place: \(0 - 4\) → borrow 1, making it \(10 - 4 = 6\)
- In the tenths place: \(0 - 3\) → borrow 1, making it \(9 - 3 = 6\) (you borrowed 1 from the 5, making it 4)
- In the ones place: \(4 - 2 = 2\)
- In the tens place: \(2 - 2 = 0\)

Putting it all together, you get:

\[
\begin{array}{r}
25.00 \\
- 22.34 \\
\hline
2.66 \\
\end{array}
\]

6. **Conclusion**: The change you will get back is **$2.66**.
